is not 90 much difference in qnan-
tity OF consumption between the
two. bns man. being naturally q

most. and he uses a Zig spoon. Rnt
the little spoon goes oftener 10 tie
lips. The fact is that woman q
great joke on man is the way she
allows him TO think things, and
never undeceives him. A man takes
mp the bill Of fare and smacks his
lips and makes . great show Of ap-
petite and enjoyment. A woman
never makes any demonstration.
but the simple. innocent way in
which she unostentationsly gets
away with the menu is delie htfal.

A woman never says she in hungry;

PECAN CULTURE

F0RT-STREET CHURCH AND ITS
PASTOR.

AT the annual meeting of Fort
street Church the resignation of
Pastor 0hzan, at his urgent re-
quest, was accepted, and COM
mittee appointed to draft an express
sion of the feeling of the church in
the matter. At a special meeting
of the church, held Wednesday
evening, March 30th, the committee
made the following report, which
was unanimously adopted:-
WHEREAS, Rev. John A. Cruzan
has rendered the resignation of his
Office as Pastor of the Fort-street
Church, Honolulu, Hawaiian ISL
ands, and the Church and Society,
have, with regret, accepted the same,
they desire to and do hereby put
upon record the following as an ex-
preston OF their regard, and of the
appreciation they have of the char
actcr OF their Pastor and OF the value
OF the services he has rendered to
this Church.. and people.
AS preacher of the Gospel of our
Lord, Mr.. Cruzan has ministered
most acceptably to this people for
six years, and during that time he
has been an earnest and faithful ex-
positor of the word of God; an able
and eloquent advocate of every in
terest and principle relating to the
religious and moral welfare and good
OF this country; he has fearlessly ex-
posed and rebuked public evils, while
he has dealt tenderly yet firmly with
the secret sins of the community ;
and especial mention should be made
OF the vigor, energy and wisdom with
which he has labored in the interest
OF Temperance Reform, and of the
pre-cminent success which has at
tended his work in this direction.
In his efforts to helpfully reach
and win the young people he has
labored most eflectually, and the
numerous additions from this class
to the Church as well as the large
and active Society of Christian En-
deayor are among the trophies OF his
ministry here.
And this Church recalls with graz
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-04-01

titude the constant and sustained
activity put forth on his part to
reach the neglected classes of this
city, striving to draw and keep them
within the influence of the Gospel.
And in this connection it would bear
glad testimony to the high esteem
and honor in which Mr.. Cruzan has
been held during these years by all
classes of people, winning their con-
fidcnce and favor, and known to all
as u manly man as truly as u min
lister of Christ in all his intercourse
and conversation with them.
In the more personal and delicate
Office of Pastor, we shall always re-
member that with tender love he has
ministered to us in the Gospel in our
joys and in our sorrows. He has
baptized our children, he has solem-
nized our marriages, ministered to
our sick, has buried our dead and
comforted our bereaved, and always
with such genuine sympathy and
presence in our homes has always
been II welcome one, and our children
will lose personal friend as truly as
will their parents. And we cannot
refrain from including here IN ex-
preston of the love and admiration
of this people for Mrs. Cruzan who
has so lovingly and tcnderly added
her ministrations and labors to those
of her husband, and of expressing
the deep and heartfelt regret and
sense of loss which this community
feels as truly in losing her as her
husband.
In parting we shall bid them God
speed and pray that the Almighty
Father may continue his favoring
blessing towards them, and that
wherever He shall call them to labor
in his service, they may reap an in
creasingly abundant harvest for their
Master.
